I have my maps at home so I haven't yet looked at the distances to see whether it's realistic but I have a friend from college who is a professor there and he offered a tour if I were ever in the area. Little did he know that I was planning a trip so soon! ;)

If it is feasible, maybe we could get together for dinner? I have to pick my destination soon-ish and make my hotel reservations. I like to plan it out ahead of time and pre-pay for the rooms because that saves a lot of money.
